Timmy the super star! We have worked so hard on how he feels about visitors and we upped the skill level today but all doing a group activity together.

Leah had an amazing week working on controlled socialization. Meaning, sometimes she greets people, sometimes she doesn't. She still gets exposure to people, places, car rides, parks, other animals but with our guidance. She even got to experience hearing a baby goat!

Brewski the PNW hiking pup!

As a team we added a new element to his walk this week. We already switch between free walk, heel and obedience commands. Today we incorporated play into the routine, it went very well. I am so thankful for the foundation his owner has created in order to be able to achieve this next step.

Let dogs be dogs!

Holy smokes did Anubis get a lot of practice last night. Tons of cars and even 3 other dogs and a motorized scooter. I am so proud of this pup and all the hard work he put on last night. Reactivity training is hard work for all. You've got to be willing to put in the time and his owners have! He did fabulous.

New student Finley! I have high hopes for this girl, she learns very quickly and is food and play motivated. We are working on leash reactivity towards other dogs. Fabulous first session. She was adopted from a shelter into a wonderful experienced and dedicated home. I look forward to future sessions.

New student Stu! It was wonderful to meet him and his owner. He is a Great Pyrenees mix. Due to no fault of his own (loose dogs) he is understandably fearful of dogs in the neighborhood.

Using the wonderful philosophy of confidence building, creating space and building a strong relationship we are working on him feeling safe in a world that is challenging. Also on the walk, working on times of "heeling" and times of free sniffing to be a dog.

Sniffing is important when it comes to reactivity and a lot of folks focus on restricting freedom of the Reactive dog. When in actuality that can back fire. If they are completely focused only on when another dog arrives they become hypervigilant. Instead let them enjoy the walk and in the times we need it, walk beside us.

"Healing" happening here for Mabel the dalmatian. Learning that other humans and dogs are okay. She has come so far and I'm so grateful her owner shared this video!

One of the absolute best parts about being a dog trainer....is when I get to work with a dog I met as a puppy. Timmy came to a puppy class two years ago and now I get to see him all grown up!

Koda & Sky. I feel very fortunate to have met these two pups and their family. I truly love making a difference. Koda had a rough start in life. Sky has been a wonderful mentor for Koda. I feel honored to have helped Koda feel more comfortable about visitors and folks walking down the street. I truly want pups to enjoy training and learn that people can mean fun things happen!

So proud of Leah! Second field trip to Montesano Farm & Feed.

The first visit she was understandably nervous. Not today, she wanted to see everyone and much more comfortable! Even with the guy pushing a large cart and wearing a mask. Love this sweet girl. Her owners are diligently taking her to new destinations each week. Critical socialization period. It doesn't mean she has to greet everyone or every dog. What it means is new experiences and places.

These two had an amazing second training session! We got to use the pesky fed ex truck for training practice. Teaching leave it, and using treats to reward for ignoring the truck. I love working with this family and their two pups. They were wiped out from all the learning. Training is draining. 😀

This would have not been possible in prior years. At any type of establishment Max would try to launch at the employees through the window. He has come so far. I had to video this amazing accomplishment for him.

My very own Max.

He will be 6 this year.

My reason, my "why" of becoming a dog trainer.

I was not new to the German Shepherd breed.

He has been human and dog reactive since a puppy. He was not mistreated, this is just how some dogs are wired.

I researched every program I could get my hands on, even internationally. I've attended countless seminars and classes. All to learn how to help my own reactive dog.

Let me tell you, there is no one size fits all. Every dog and situation are different.

What I can tell you is, it's hard work and you have to put in the time.

You also need to meet the dog where they are at.
If either you or your dog are having an "off" day. Skip that day. Don't set yourself up for failure.

Also practice for the situation before the situation.

These pictures you see below absolutely would never have been possible without all my knowledge I have gained and hard work I have put in with Max.

He can now handle being on the same planet as another dog and human. In the very beginning he couldn't even be across a giant field from either of them. It's not an exaggeration. These photos are a testament to the work and progress Max has made. The amount of trust and courage he has is absolutely phenomenal.

Thank you Max for being you. 💜

All dogs, no matter their age, breed or size... benefit from training.

I am so pleased with the progress this beautiful little girl made on just the first session. We as a team are giving her a voice and a choice.

It is a million times more powerful to let the dog make a decision. We have to have the patience to wait and let dogs learn.

This girl has come so far! As a team, her owners, myself and their family have been diligently working on her feelings about new people. She had a tough start in life. She landed an amazing home with a truly caring and dedicated family. She even felt comfortable enough today to move freely about the house and get a drink of water and grab a toy to play with. I am so darn proud of how brave she has been.

New student Anubis! He is golden retriever and Great Pyrenees. He had a fabulous first session. We worked on recall training with the long line, and leash reactivity using clicker training. Loved working with this sweet pup!

My absolute privilege to help dogs learn that good things can come from being around other dogs. Giving dogs a voice, understanding their anxiety. Giving them tools, giving the owner tools as well. I am so grateful to be a dog trainer and share my knowledge. #DogTraining #dogtrainer #leashreactivity

Walter my 3yr old Saint Bernard in a down stay on a long line with a string cheese near him for a "leave it". So proud of him! He taught his first seminar with me at Ocean Shores when he was just 4 months old. 💜 #saintbernard #dogtraining #dogtrainer

Fantastic group mini series class. We are specifically focusing on recall and leash walking (heel). Walter my 3yr old Saint Bernard attended this evening. Super proud of him! #saintbernard #recalltraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer

I definitely love helping with Leash Reactivity. It's the entire reason I became a dog trainer to begin with. 💜 #leashreactivity #clicktocalm #clickertraining

Last week of Reactive Rover Group class. Three dogs all in the same vicinity along with distractions of the busy Tractor Supply. Fantastic job everyone! If you have a dog who is Leash Reactive I can help. #clickertraining #clicktocalm

Excellent first night of my summer mini series. This is the last one for the year! #tractorsupply #recalltraining #recalltraininginprogress #leashwalking

Teddy rocking recall away from the chickens! First day introducing adding the whistle to recall. 👏

Team work, even a new partner to practice with today! Great job everyone. 😁 #clickertraining #dogtraining #leashreactivity

3 pups together, absolutely phenomenal! 👏👏👏 #leashreactivity #clickertraining

New student Betty! She is from our amazing Shelter here in town called Adopt A Pet. She was actually born there as her mom was pregnant while in the shelter. We are working on leash walking, polite greetings at the door, and recall in the back yard. She did fantastic!

This protocol works for so many situations. Here we are building confidence in the front yard. She's been a bit nervous with the main road and loud noises. We also used the opportunity of a person walking by! They were so friendly and willing to help us with training. Scentwork or nosework is helpful on so many levels. It's taking a skill dogs already have and love to do and helping them in potentially stressful situations. Watching the world go by. 🙂 #desensitization #dogtraining #scatterfeeding #puppiesofinstagram
